The Pittsburg Pirates defeated the North Lamar Panthers at R.L. Maddox Stadium in Paris Friday night, ending a three game losing streak and winning their first game on the road this season.  
Former Pirate quarterback and linebacker and Pittsburg alumni Mario Willis said “It was a good win, but it was still sloppy.”  
After both teams swapped possessions in the first quarter, Pirate senior Ty Smith sacked North Lamar’s senior quarterback Jacob Cowling for a safety with a little under four and a half minutes remaining in the period.  Pittsburg then scored four plays later as junior John Wayne Warrick reached the end zone on an end around run from 18 yards out.

How to properly use Romo

Submitted by Pittsburg1 on

I’ve tried to avoid the topic of the Dallas Cowboys in my column, but after last Sunday I just can’t keep quiet any longer. I apologize in advance to all you Tony Romo fans out there, because you’re probably not going to like what I have to say.
I’ll start off by disclaiming that I have no room to judge any athlete. I’m a 34-year-old out of shape guy with bad knees left over from high school. I respect all athletes and admire their abilities - but I’m also a sports guy who needs something to talk about every week.
When Tony Romo first earned a starting spot on the Cowboys, I was rooting for the guy. He was an unlikely choice who happened to be in the right place at the right time. And there is no getting around the fact that Romo has flashes of brilliance. The problem is that those flashes are short-lived and rarely see the Cowboys through to a win.
